There have been previous reports that 3.0 would have some new  
capabilities that would allow certain apps (such as SoftPC) to handle  
direct screen writes (or whatever the appropriate technical term is :-)  
much faster than is currently possible under 2.1.

Will the current version of SoftPC benefit from these changes under  
3.0, or will the improvement only be seen with a new release of SoftPC  
that is explicitly designed to take advantage of these new  
capabilities? In other words, will we have to shell out more money to  
see any improvement in SoftPC, or will the performance improve some  
just by virtue of it running under 3.0?
